Galagadon (/ɡælʌɡədɒn/) is an extinct genus of small carpet shark that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It contains one species, G. nordquistae. It was named after the video game Galaga due to a resemblance between its teeth and the spaceships in the game, and Field Museum volunteer Karen Nordquist.
